The season ends for Aleksander Aamodt Source – news Sport – Sports news, results and broadcasting schedule

– After my crash in Wengen and a few tough weeks, things started to get better, and in June I was even able to ski again in Oslo. Unfortunately, I developed a shoulder infection in July which led to some complications, says Kilde in a press release from the Norwegian Skiing Association. He has been treated with antibiotics to control the infection for ten weeks. – Now I need another operation to fix the shoulder 100 percent. It has been nine months since Kilde’s horrific fall in Wengen. The strong fall meant that the body was thrown hard, and the alpine star suffered several injuries – including to the calf and left shoulder. SEVERELY BRUSHED: Aleksander Aamodt Kilde was badly bruised after the fall in Wengen. Photo: Privat Since then, the alpine star has undergone several operations and worked hard to come back. On Wednesday came the news that it will take longer before we get to see him in action.

Source: NTB Aiming for next season Source emphasizes that he is motivated to make a comeback and invest fully after the rehabilitation. Now it’s about getting ready for the 2025/26 season. – Aleksander contracted a severe infection in his operated shoulder in early summer. Unfortunately, this has led to several setbacks in the rehabilitation. After a stable and good period in the autumn, everything now seems to have calmed down nicely, says the Alpine Land Sales’ doctor, Trond Floberghagen, in the press release. He further announces that the situation is not compatible with an active winter, but that it can hopefully be implemented very soon. The men start at the weekend It has been a long time since Aamodt Kilde himself has spoken about the injury situation, but in September he said that it was difficult to say when he will be back. – It’s going slowly. It’s not easy, said Kilde in the podcast “Mensch Büchel”. His wife Mikaela Shiffrin, who is the all-time winningest alpine skier, has also admitted that both she and Kilde have considered putting their careers on hold after she too has been injured. – We considered a career break. We’ve had that conversation. We both had moments where we just thought we were tired and it was time (to quit), Shiffrin told the AP earlier in October. The alpinists start the season with giant slalom in Sölden for women and men next weekend. Source will be available to the press on Thursday. The highlight of the winter is the WC in Saalbach in the first weeks of February. Published 23.10.2024, at 16.30 Updated 23.10.2024, at 16.48
